Wfcjr the Colvllle Teller Flooded. Coiruuta, April repetition of the floods of last rear in the Cclville ralley hare been threatened for the past two weeks. Last year was the Urst of the floods In the history of the vaiand this second Inundation has brought forth an investigation as to the of the sadden change. Loon lake is beautiful sheet of water, lira miles long by two miles wide. It ie the source of the Col villa river, and Is situated on the summit of the range, about midway between Colrllle and Spokane, on the Spokane Fails A Northern railfray.

At the north and of tha lake la a marshy flat of many acree, and trickling through the vaede the waters gather here to form the small stream that glres rise to the Colrllle river. It is at this point that a farmer of tha roetie typo has claimed a portion of tha publla domain, and by his industry and toil Is endearoriug to better his condition in the good old way. In order to reclaim the marshy lands at the lower end of the lake thia farmer cut a drainage ditch through the hill below aud tapped tha lake upon a twenty-foot level. This great volume of weter turned looee readily found Ita way to the level of the valley, and tha river, being a sluggish stream, could not convey the great surplnsage down Its entire course before nearly every Book and corner had been flooded, and great lakelets remained along the hills and othsr places all summer. It was presumed tbat the difficulty was only temporary, but thia year the haymakers were again surprised.

This time the eame result was obtained through somewhat different circumstances. It aaems that ths outlet to the lake, before it wse tampered with, wsa seepage through tha bogs and gravelly subsoil, all of which was amply protected from the extreme Cold of winter. Since the ditch ras dug the small rolume of water that naturally flows from the lake gradually froze in the channel until it had been rilled with solid aubetance to it original height; and. thea, when the spriag thaw came, the floodgate was opened again, snd ths thousands of acres of ralley lands below were couvcrted Into a veritable lake.

The customs inspectors, ia geiag throagh tha steamer's baggage and freight, were not at all saspickraa wbaa two cases marked "Rev. Father Meadotia, Molokal, Hawaiian Islaada" were reached.

The ebipment waa consigned to John IX Sprockets Bros. Company and the way bill described the contents aa "books sad clothing, value 185." Rev. Father Mendolin is the Catholic priest in charge of the Hawaiian leper settlement en the island of Molokai, and tba casea were ta be warded to him on. one of Sprockets' brothers'steamers. At tint Deputy or Ruddell was inclined to pass the cases without search.

They were innocentlooking, and than the contente were "books and clothing" for the lepers. He half turned nway, aad thea changed hie mind. "We may as well take part of tha caver off" said ha to his assistant, and it was dona. The neat and uniform manner in which the books and clothing wera packed aroused his suspicion, and thorough search was made. Under the top packing six small boxes were found, and when they were opened 100 five-tael tins of opium were found ta each.

Tha second case was opened, and it alao was found to be carefully packed. Only two boxes, containing 100 tins each, were found in it, the rest of the space being taken up with booke and ctothinc. An inveetigation of tha ship's manifest waa then made and the two casea were found to bsve been shipped by C. U. McNiff, of Victoria, B.

Here they would only make a profit of about a ponad, but ia Hawaii, where the drug is worth S4O a pound, their profita would have been enormoua. Had the casee pasaed the custom house officials here the chances are they would hsve passed muster in Honolulu and would thus have been safely landed.

A COMA, April 11. Col. Chauncey W. Griggs, president of the Tacoma and St. Paul Lumber Company, has returned from Ban Francisco, and from what he reporte the Pacific Pine Lumber Company, with headquarters at that city, Is to have a strong rival in the ooastwlse lamber trade, and also the foreign cargo trade.

Heretofore the Pacific Pine Lumber Company has virtually been master of both the coastwise business and the cargo trade. The St, Paul and Taconia Lumber Company having large timber land concessions fro tbe Northern Pacific Railroad Company, has never gone into the various lumber combines which from time to time have been organued or fostered by tbe Pacifio Pine people. The former company has stuck to its rail shipments and hss lead all competitors in that line. Col. Griggs says: "We hare established ourselvee under the Dickens Lumber Company at San Francisco, of which lam president We shall stock our vard there at once, and expect to handle 30,000,000 feet of fir and redwood per year to begin with.

We are already established at Los Angeles, and already handle 10.000,000 feet ly. We may go farther south and tap the country beyond Port Harford. Our cargo business will bs looked after from San Francisco principally, and at very low tieures we look for a good business. Two vessels will be put on at once to carry lumber from Tacorna to San Francisco. We do not expect to go into trade dosrn tbe Cosst as a disturbing element" The mill of the SC Paul and Lumber Company here bu a capacltr of 230,000 feet per day, and in order to bandie the cargo business, as veil as the rait trade, the company will have to hare another mill of equal capacity.

Col. Griggs will not discuss the new mill project at present. A Lumber Idltor la Stimcle Baslaess TACOIIA, April protest has gone forth because Charles Towne. editor and proprietor of the Lumberman, has sent ont tetters bidding for the business of handling shingles on commission also because he rates 10 cents under the association price, and also allows overweights which are, according to the statements of members of the dealers' association and tha manufacturers' association, equivalent to another 10 per cent. Thui there is a cut of 20 cents per thousand, which atter deducting 5 per cent commission for Mr.

Towne, ctres the Eastern buyer the of 15 cents per thousand. is very important to shingletnen and several have ended upon Mr. Towne to declare either as a shingle deader or as the editor and proprietor of a lumber journal. Some hive told Mr. will come out as a dealer in shingles.
